The INSIDER Summary:
• Some celebrity marriages were kept under wraps so well, we weren't aware they even happened.
• Other Hollywood marriages lasted for such a short time, fans forgot they totally happened.
• Here are some of the most surprising celebrities who tied the knot.
In a time where it feels like we know everything we need to know about our favorite celebrities, some of them manage to keep certain major life events (like a marriage!) hidden so far under the radar, we completely forgot they even happened. It sounds crazy, I know, but plenty of celebrities got married so early in their respective careers that the general public didn't take much notice — that is, until one or both become crazy huge stars after the marriage is over. Or perhaps both were already super famous when they tied the knot, but the marriage was over so quickly, you forgot the celebs ever even married.
Some of these pairings seem completely random, while others actually make a ton of sense, but either way, it wasn't meant to be, since all have since divorced and moved on... sometimes with other celebrities (hey, Angelina Jolie!). Mostly it's not too shocking to see famous people getting hitched to other famous people, since they naturally end up in the same circles in Hollywood through work or other projects. The shocking part really is that these marriages have somehow become so far forgotten. Here are 32 celebrities you had no idea were ever married.
1. Andre Agassi & Brooke Shields
The tennis star and the child actor were something of a '90s power couple, but ultimately divorced after a two-year marriage. Shields recently revealed in an interview to Peoplethat she tried to be supportive when Agassi opened up about a meth addiction, but they could not make it work. Still, she only had lovely things to say about her first husband, saying, "He is a devoted person, sweet and good but he had this demon, this affliction. But the other side, and what makes this so hard, is the way he welcomed me and my mother and anybody I loved. He is a really good human being."
2. Laura Dern & Ben Harper
The Jurassic Park star and her musician husband quietly wed in 2005 and even had two children together prior to their nuptials. They officially filed for divorce in 2010, but remained legally married until the divorce was finalized in 2013, and reportedly attempted to reconcile during that time.
3. Bradley Cooper & Jennifer Esposito

He's now one of the biggest movie stars on the planet, but most fans likely never even knew Cooper was married for four months back in 2006 to fellow actor Esposito when his career was still burgeoning. Their marriage and divorce may have been swift, but the Blue Bloodsstar had some less-than-flattering things to say about her ex in her 2014 memoir Jennifer's Way. She said,
